England women's head coach John Mitchell praised the team's 87-4 victory over Scotland in the Women's Six Nations, calling it a 'special' win after a challenging week. Despite a rusty start against Ireland and a lengthy injury list, England made five changes to their starting lineup and shifted star player Ellie Kildunne to the wing.
The team rose to the occasion, scoring five tries in the first half and seven in the second. Mitchell attributed the success to the team's 'courage' and ability to adapt to adversity. The win showcased the team's depth and talent, with young players like Maddie Feaunati making a strong impression. Former Scotland international Jade Konkel noted that Scotland's lack of depth was a significant factor in their defeat, stating that they were 'not good enough' and needed to improve to compete with top teams.
